Yokuts Plaza Monument

This area is dedicated to the Yokuts and Mono tribes and their ancestors. Since time immemorial these indigenous nations have occupied the San Joaquin Valley and Sierra Foothills developing distinctive cultures that have emphasized a love for the land and community. We are proud to say Fresno City College sits on Native Land. This monument is to acknowledge and appreciate their cultural and historical legacy.
